Episode 28. Pro Hockey, Seven Surgeries & Mr. Lemon Wax
The conversation
About Danny Cangelosi.
Danny Cangelosi sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 28, “Pro Hockey, Seven Surgeries & Mr. Lemon Wax”.
Danny is the man behind Mr. Lemon Wax. He was put on the ice at about five years old, ground through junior leagues and played minor league hockey, all while dealing with injuries and seven surgeries.
He turned those setbacks into a new mission. A random idea in Florida became Mr. Lemon Wax, a surf and hockey brand now supported by college athletes, pros and the East Coast community. He even sponsored a college summer hockey league.
Danny has done jiu-jitsu on and off and was getting back into it once a week. He talks about patience, breathwork, confidence, and pushing forward without a roadmap.
